Really wish you were closer  :-\  I could swap helping you out for gaining knowledge in livestock husbandry.

It is a possibility for a family camping trip near you in warmer weather if you still need help.  ( all four of us from 5 years to 21+ are eager to learn  ;D )

Don't want to deprive Colliewoman but, Mammyshaz - you just shout if you're wanting to help out with livestock!  :D   
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Any time Sally, the more I learn now, the more prepared I'll be when we find somewhere  ;)

Okay, consider yourself booked for the fourth sunny day every time after mid-May  ;)  (Ok, I admit that stooking hay doesn't teach you husbandry but it's great fun working as a team in the field :D)

We'll talk next Friday about what would be practical and suitable over lambing, yes?

I could come over on Monday, Tuesday or Friday. Do you have a preference?

Oh my! I am so sorry I have only just seen this!


Thank you so so so much :-* :-* :-*
However.... Hubby has come down with the norovirus which is not a pretty sight so I would suggest that unless you have already had it that we rain check for another day?


I really really don't want to sound ungrateful but you really don't want it if you can avoid it  :tired: :tired: :tired:


Having said that, if you have had it Tuesday would be amazing and I will make sure there is a pot of stew bubbling away for us :yum:
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back
